Second Division Officer Bryan Wilson initially responded to a report of a woman having trouble with her children at 35th Street and Broadway at Shorty's Food Mart Sunday night, police said.

A vehicle was fleeing from Shorty's. Wilson followed and stopped the vehicle at 36th and Garland streets. That's when two people in the car fired at police, authorities said.

“The officer did return fire, and the two suspects fled the scene from that point. We have since been able to detain one person, who is currently being detained for questioning. Another suspect, possibly even more, are still outstanding at this point,” said police spokeswoman Alicia Smiley.

"I heard some gunshots and my daughter said, 'Mom, did you hear the gunshots?' And I was like, 'Yes, I heard them,'" said nearby resident Denice Cooper. "We will have things here and there, but nothing like that."

Cooper said it's just another act of violence that is setting her community back and creating an environment that isn’t safe for her children or anyone else's.

"I do get angry. I have children. I live in this neighborhood, and I am community-based, and I believe in the neighborhood, and I believe everyone together should be able to work together to make this neighborhood better. Yes, it does anger me," Cooper said.

She’s not the only person concerned about the community.

Community activist Christopher 2X sees both sides of the equation on the incident, which could have ended tragically for either side.

"(The) situation last night that unfolded, where an officer could have lost his life and here are some young men who could have lost their lives," 2X said.

The investigation into the incident remains ongoing, and there have been no arrests.

Metro police detained a juvenile after the incident Sunday, but he has since been released to the custody of his mother after being charged with giving a false name to law enforcement.
